One staff member expressed their gratitude, saying, “Thank you, Woo Seok, for blessing us with iPhones as a token of appreciation for all our hard work in 2024!” The post was accompanied by a photo of the new devices, which was much appreciated.

An employee from Byeon Woo Seok’s agency, Varo Entertainment, added, “Woo Seok gifted iPhones and iPads to every member of the Varo family. How could we not become TTE (his fan club) after this? ♥” This heartwarming gesture is a testament to the actor’s thoughtfulness and care for those who support him.

The shared images showed that Byeon Woo Seok took the time to carefully select different models and colors of iPhones and iPads for each staff member, including hair stylists, makeup artists, and wardrobe coordinators. It seems that the actor went the extra mile to personalize each gift, likely choosing models based on each person’s individual preferences.
